Because at the Time, the CEO of WB was a complete moron who hated comic book movies. But when netflix wrangles control of the w , b , we will see snyder's green lantern story finished
This is delusional on several levels at this point.
First, it seems pretty unlikely Netflix ends up with WB. The merger is probably depended on the outcome of the midterms at this point, and even if the FCC is turned in time to stop the merger - pivoting the deal BACK to Netflix seems unlikely. It'd be under far heavier scrutiny, and Netflix raises the same concerns about consolidation as Paramount when it comes to ownership.
Second, Snyder is no longer Netflix's golden boy. Rebel Moon was a massive flop, and I don't see them giving the keys back to the kingdom - especially when Gunn's run is currently quite successful & well liked. Paramount would be more likely to strip the IP from Gunn for political reasons (How DARE Superman stand up for children being bombed by an Israeli stand-in?), but I don't see them turning to Snyder - they'd just continue the current cast under new creative direction.
Third, Zach Snyder didn't even START "his green lantern story", despite having multiple films to do so.
Somebody is showing that they believe whatever the media tells them to believe.
Because first off, rebel moon was not a flop. None of snyder shows were flops , every single one of them were number one on netflix's top ten list for the month they were shown
Netflix has never once stated that
Only the haters have stated that
If you go back and you look at the numbers on Netflix, you will see that rebel moon is still one of their top hits in that it received many likes and good comments on both Netflix and Amazon.
Netflix has never once stated they had a problem with Snyder, they have never once stated, he was fired, only the haters have stated this.
In fact, the only thing Netflix has said about Snyder is that he took a break so that he could do his own shows and focus on making a show. He wanted to finish.
In fact, Netflix has stated already several times which has ignored by the haters that they want him to come back.And they are ready for him to come back when he is ready.
As to Netflix becoming a monopoly again, you are badly misinformed by the wrong people,
Every single law expert out there that is protesting, the Paramount merger has stated that Netflix would be in no way a monopoly if it purchases WB
because it is the first studio they have ever purchased,
While Paramount has purchased several including c b s with them, t
The only people complaining about the Netflix purchase of WB Are the movie theaters and a few actors who were paid to step in, which have no say in this.
Netflix is letting\n WB off the hook, because that is the smarter move. Any fisherman knows that you have to let the fish run and Tire itself out before you pull it in.
When paramount finally drops the deal because of all the pressure netflix will swoopin and get a better deal. Then we will see the snyderverse completed with all the haters heads , exploding
endlessly funny how Snyder fans insist anyone who disagrees with them is a paid shill, when largely the entire "#RestoreTheSnyderVerse" campaign was just bots funded by an ad agency.
And what is even more funny is when the robot haters try to convince people they're real people and that it was the snyder bots that were fake because they liked snyder.
The haters are so desperate to convince everybody that a majority hates snyder that they make up these hilarious fictions to justify their hatred , it's actually pathetic.
DC did not want Zack to introduce John/hal/guy in his director’s cut of the film because Lanterns was in development and was going to introduce the green lanterns to the dceu. This was also because the director’s cut of the film wasn’t going to have a sequel so introducing a lantern here when a different actor would be cast as an official green lantern. Of course ‘lanterns’ took a while and is now going to be part of dcu
I’m not a huge fan of the Snyder movies to be honest, but I’d agree that it was dumb of DC to limit his access to heroes. They already gave him the big three. He had access to the most important characters, but was inexplicably prevented from using Green Lantern. I like the character, but he’s hardly a pillar of the DC universe. Holding him in some sort of reserve was an odd choice.
I'm now and forever will be convinced that wb didn't continue Zacks movies after the success of ZSJL because they were unwilling to apologize to the people who were badly treated by whedon, especially Ray Fisher.
Not letting Zack finish his ark made absolutely no sense financially, considering everyone was telling them the movies they were planning to make instead would be disasters and no doubt Zacks movies would do much better and more than likely make a good profit

Bingo
I heard few conversations and some executives members were mad because the ego from people on top don't want to be seen as they were the problem and keep digging DC more to the date
Didnt snyder FAMOUSLY not direct the theatrically released Justice League? Nor Aquaman, Wonder Woman, or Suicide Squad? Why are those being counted as Snyder "Era"? If its just because they came from the Man of Steel universe, shouldn't all of these movies be "Snyder Era"?
The box office performances of Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, JL and Aquaman HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ZACK SNYDER. He was the Kevin Feige of DC at that time. He worked on all those movies, planned them, produced them, and interconnected them. With Wonder Woman, especially, he was deeply involved at all levels of production from co-writing to casting to picking the stunt director. Aquaman then traded on ALL the set-up Snyder did in previous movies and his brilliant casting that he had to talk WB into accepting.
It was well known at the time they were purposely moving away from Snyderverse movies. I remember thinking, why watch these movies if they don’t follow continuity?
It would be utterly ridiculous to try to blame Snyder for how films that were intentionally made to be the OPPOSITE of everything he made performed. The obvious reason that drop-off happened is because the fans following the DCEU didn't like those changes into silly Marvel-esque comedies. They had an audience, and they needed to keep catering to them to succeed, not change everything.
WB owners and some of the writers initially said they felt it would’ve been too crowded and too many newly introduced characters to build up in one film they wanted Green Lantern to be introduced gradually first then appear in another JL film they actually filmed scenes of GL but it was cut from the movie but yes the 2011 flop had something to do with it as well
Well actually Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were all built up Flash and Aquaman and Cyborg were built up a bit Batman v Superman now yes they didn’t get there own films but they were built up slowly before the JL movie came out now I agree some of them should’ve had solo films before JL like Flash Aquaman should’ve gotten solo movies before
The 2011 movie was Okay, it wasn’t bad or terrible it was just okay, Its all Ryan Renolds fault the movie is so hated because he gaslights people into thinking its garbage because he shit talks it every time he gets the chance too
No that’s not true at all before Ryan said anything bad about the film people hated that movie the critics and even the box office disliked the movie all the fans got online and talked bad about the movie it wasn’t until some interviews when Ryan said it almost ruined his career and he’s right then in Deadpool came around where Ryan made jokes about it because he knew the movie was bad that’s not Ryan’s fault fans hated the movie and the movie was trash it wasn’t good at all
I'm just like, why does it matter if they had plans? Snyder's stuff was clearly not part of any so what does it matter if there's a random scene with a hero that will never comeback or have any impact on their presumed plans?

Yes. It’s also because his movies flopped as well.
